Summary, in English

The chapter traces the emergence of institutional approaches in International Relations (IR) theory, outlines three important areas of research on international institutions (sovereignty, international regimes and the EU), and suggests promising directions for future research. The review demonstrates that rational choice institutionalism, historical institutionalism and normative institutionalism, as developed in the study of domestic institutions, have constituted sources of inspiration in IR theory.
